When the Weather is the News, Lead with the Weather

Slatest carries story from MSNBC that Cylclone Yasi is heading landfall in Queensland, Australia. The cyclone (we call hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean) is reported to be Category 5 with 23 foot tide surge and winds of 18 mph plus. Stay afloat down under.

Weather has changed. More extreme weather events is part of global warming. It's going to be bad and get worse. We need to invest in the transition to the post petroleum age now. We need to confront the deniers and demand that they stop playing politics with this important issue. A planet with more stable weather patterns is not a socialist scheme.
